Abstract
Butterflies play crucial roles in ecosystems,
serving as vital components of the ecological chain. The objective of the
present study was to assess butterfly diversity in Baramati Tehsil. Throughout
the investigation, a total of 58 species of butterflies belonging to five
families were recorded. The results revealed that Nymphalidae was the dominant
family with 24 species constituting 41.38% of the total individuals of
butterflies recorded, followed by Pieridae with 14 species, Lycaenidae with 13 species, Papilionidae with 6
species and Hesperiidae with 1. The abundance of butterflies in the region can
be attributed to the presence of well-established vegetation and greenery,
which provide suitable food sources, habitats, and breeding zones. This study
provides baseline data for further research on butterflies, including their
restoration, management strategies, and sustenance in the tehsil region.
